Matthew 9:35 Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness.
36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 He said to his disciples, "The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields."
consider this...
every one of us who are reading this are Christ followers because someone(s) obeyed the Lord & spoke the Word to each of us, or lived a life in front of us, or did whatever they were led to do be & do to us so that we, as a result, decided to follow Jesus.
what would have happened if any of those people who were pivotal in each of our lives had decided to not follow through in obedience to God's call?
I know where I'd be - either on the slippery slope to hell in my life, or there already.
have you ever thought about the reality that YOU & I are just those kinds of pivotal people in countless people all around us, all the time?
and what if we decide it's too much trouble, or we're too scared, or we're just too lazy, to obey God's leading?
